COVID-19 Vaccine Transport Frontlines - Cooling Technology Brings Hope to High-Pressure Situations

We interviewed hospital staff administering the vaccines, VIXELL service providers, and VIXELL developers for answers on the innovative nature of the product and the contribution it is making in society.
